Steps We Take.❀

Step 3: when you put your arms around me.

"Kendall- wait!" I continuously yell, hearing only our footsteps and heavy breathing.

"I get it, Jame's was just kidding about the whole liking thing. It was all just a game. Real funny joke though. Props." He rolls his eyes annoyed, checking out plain surroundings.

"Kendall," I sigh. "I do like you. Actually, way more than I planned."

"But James-" He starts, leaning on his door frame.

"James is my friend, I promise you. He was threatening to knock on your door and say some things but I don't want it to be awkward between us. I just like you so much, Kendall," I confess shyly.

Kendall smirks. "You like me? For real?"

I nod. How exactly did this conversation end up like this? Kendall grins and walks over to me. He pins his arm around my tiny waist and picks me up. I stare into his sparkly green orbs like they're speaking to me. I want to kiss him so bad. Although it won't be our first kiss together, we've kissed many times a while back for testing reasons. I want to go slow with Kendall; but I don't think he does. He's been my friend for years, so I know how he works. I sigh deeply, knowing how weird this is going to start off. Kendall places his smooth hand across my face, stroking it gently. I blush, laughing a bit. He can be so stupid, yet romantic at times.

"I guess we should make this official, eh?" he asks. 

"Oh, no. I believe in going on dates first."

"You're kidding, right? We were best-"

"Kendall, we still are best friends. I'll decide on our first date if we can be more than that," I say sticking my nose up into the air not so seriously. "But alas, I haven't been asked out yet."

"Okay, okay. Annaleah, will you do me the honor of going on our first date together?" he asks sweetly as he takes my hand in his.

"Of course I will, Kenny." I giggle and ruffle his blonde locks. What an idiot. What a cute idiot.

-------------------------------------

I run towards the hard knocking sound at my front door. It's Kendall, it has to be Kendall. It's time for our first official date, and I couldn't be any more excited. My dream has finally came true, and everything was falling into place perfectly. I swing the door open to find a well dressed, but yet sexy Schmidt.

"I-uhh-you." I nod slowly as he stumbles for words. "Y-you look amazing."

"Thanks," I say grabbing my black purse and heading out the door. "So, we are we going?"

He grips the steering wheel tightly, just avoiding a poor innocent squirrel. I smile slightly, admiring his love for animals.

"It's a surprise, duh."

I let out a deep breath, sure so Kendall can hear it. He knows I hate surprises just as much as I hate waiting. I whine on and on, begging him to tell me where we're going. I smooth out my floral skirt and pout until we get there. He notices, but doesn't do anything about it. As soon as we arrive, my pout quickly turns into a delighted grin.

"You did not take me here!" I yell as loudly as I could get it.

He smirks his famous smirk and grabs your hand. "Oh yes I did."
